"I wasn't sure how to assess this theory. So many exotic explanations have already been offered for rousseau's escape to the russians helped him to the mob help him to get a whisper from the fbi. The marshals have also had trouble digesting all these ideas. What they did accept was that this was as strange. A fugitive case as had ever crossed their path. Christened danielle opted to put kevin's theories aside and instead focused on the fresh information from kevin about that dominican resort. Danielle pulled out the old notes from the marshall who ran down the lead years earlier we know the tenth through the years we documented. We had we talked to the original investigators that were out there. I pulled all handwritten notes. Everything i can find about this tip We pulled up at first. It was just as berry had remembered the marshalls did go to the resort and found a guy there named john russo as a couple and husband wife and their child. They were vetted they were air. Interviewed it was not revoked. But then danielle scan the registry from the resort on the day the tip came in. She read carefully down the list of guests. Just look at it again because you can look at it five times and it might be nothing and then you get one bit of information you look back at it again and it might change your life so we saw on my name. That was interesting. Rufo had established several false identities that investigators knew about i remembered one day last year rufus old assistant. Jody bachman told me about a bunch of names. He had been using how she would see them. Pop up on checks and on voices. Chris gregory john peters and you're mentioning knits. John nets while nets when i see it. Says alias niche. The first thing that came to my mind was craig news new ids as where he got the idea to for that fictitious name alias. A former ccs client who had nothing to do with the fraud scheme because they were clients at his. But i think john took name from. That is new. It's almost certain it's just. Where would you get. knits from. Daniel remembered that alias to she did a double take when she reexamined the hotel. Registry from the dominican resort. It may have just been a coincidence but now there was a second reason to wonder if rufo had in fact been they're living like a high roller one of the names that was on. It was john. It's easy and the reservation was only four one day and it was in the amount of over thousand dollars so i'd probably have looked through that prior to this on twenty times and never stood out after that phone call myself another investigator look back through. It said this could be something rolling across rome in an interpol police. Fan chris lure watched chiseled stone of thousand-year-old walls and pillars float by the window. We passed verdant countryside villas and then emerged back into a landscape of modern office. Buildings eventually easing through the security barriers. At the vast modern headquarters of the carbonari italy's national police force after a gauntlet of temperature checks and metal detectors. We reached a set of glass doors etched with the acronym fast which stood for fugitive actions. Search team the head of fast. Fabio greeted us with cups of italian. Coffee okay yes shoot for those who hear the name fabio and think of the romance novel cover model which flowing locks. This is not that. This fabio is a stocky man of middle age with a thick neck and a shaved head. A thirty year police veteran who's tours have included extremely dangerous anti-mafia postings and senior roles in the areas of counter-terrorism and european cooperation as we all took see to the table in his spartan office fabulous approach was both warm and blunt. The relationship of the americans is crucially important. He said but if john rufo is in fact hiding in italy he won't be easy to find people. Tame name and surname decided legally us born in the same years makes it harder to find it actually carry checks between very brazen some root for the recent for neither throughout the right. You know the any. There's nothing positive from our databases. Most challenging he said is that rufo's every man looked is commonplace in italy as it is in new york. John four has a standard face. Okay so a lot of people can sound to juggle but fob us. Mood was not entirely sour. A characteristic of fugitive hunters worldwide. It would seem is the firm belief that any man can be caught us. You don't many cases so yes i. You put unity to work. On several major cases related to top top fugitives belonging to italian mafia. What is the what are the keys to finding somebody who's gone on the run but it was You know you need to track everything about the fugitive's starting from something that you can help you find them. The family Yes maybe this is a really italian beumer for recess for us. They remain linked to their family..

"Ranger right hand. She was the darling of silicon valley magazine cover after magazine but now accused of massive fraud. She faces decades in prison if convicted and continues to maintain her innocence. Mrs not vacant team. But this was a product didn't work i'm rebecca jarvis and for more than five years. My team and i have been following the case of elizabeth homes. And we're here to guide you through every development of her trial from the new evidence presented in court to how the jury might react to her new life. New episodes of the dropout available. Tuesday's wherever you listen to podcasts. China i was in the boarding area at reagan national airport in washington dc. Deputy marshal chris lure had left his house at four. Am to expand the hunt for john. Rufo across the atlantic to italy. I asked chris to explain why he was going very symbolic. I would say the fact that works investigator on this case because it shows like how invested we are in it like and we're not gonna pitch we know he's here one hundred percent he's living in italy. It's like no. We don't know that we're going to tell them. You know we had to pick one place in the world. We think it's and i don't know that he's living here. The idea was not to land in italy expecting to put handcuffs on rufo. He'd been off the italian radar for years so changing that dynamic was a crucial first step. Chris was being joined by eric. Rock a former baltimore cop who heads the international arm of the marshall service. Eric is laid back and fashion. Forward guy who arrives at the airport in a gingham shirt with a pocket square and greed is italian counterparts in a salmon-colored designer blazer. Something he knew they would appreciate. He told me close. Relationships are everything. A country like italy doesn't have to hunt for someone like rufo. It takes diplomacy to earn their support. The effort to engage the italians was all supposed to have started much earlier but had been interrupted while in europe tonight. They are confronting their first major outbreak. At least two hundred nineteen cases in italy tonight. Twelve towns on lockdown. And were there at the start of the pandemic. Few places were hit as hard as italy. We were planning to go to italy last march of twenty twenty When we we had you know a lot of information we wanted to go and meet with our italian counterparts. We wanted to go into field and the trip was planned and it was cancelled. Then we tried to do it again. November twenty twenty and once again it was cancelled. And i think what this is. The fourth try now. Eric said he's always believed the italians. Could give the case a big push forward. We plan to go over certain formation that we feel that could lead to a possible identification of raphel in italy with the marshals. Did not know was how the italians would respond. The rufo case was not splashy. it's decades old and the files fold precious little in the way of solid leads but as with so many other avenues explored in this case the marshalls felt they had nothing to lose much per blind with us. Once again we should lambing at just about a half an hour from now. Closer to coburg benefits roam the cradle of european civilization a nursery of world religion. The birthplace of the renaissance is this somewhere where a bland devious italian american gifter could blend in and settled down. Still in the grips of cove ed. The marshalls needed a special visa for this trip. So their sales pitch would have to connect in just a matter of days after a gauntlet of no swabs and rapid tests. They swiftly loaded into a van and got to work. They rolled straight for the headquarters of the carbonari. The national police force to meet up with the head of the italian fugitive squad. A man named fabio auto yanni. So he's the guy knows defined people there the i he'll be the guy He'll be are tommy. Lee jones is you could say it italy just like the guy in the classic movie. The fugitive hard bitten and rough around the edges. Let my office with calls. Well sheriff. i'd hate to see that happen. So i guess. I'll take over your investigates while italy had become a new focus for the rufo investigation. It was not the only direction the marshals were headed. An interview and suburban. Virginia sent chris and danielle looking in another direction as well. This was the lead from private investigator. Bill kish who died in twenty eighteen but had once advised the marshalls that rufa was spotted in a casino at a dominican republic resort. The lead had been chased and dismissed until danielle visited the home of kiss his daughter. There was a moment at the end of that where one of the people came out of the house and said i just talked to bilk son. He knows where. Jonah's yeah. what happened next Well we call we call that person. We called his son. I mean and for a second we stop and we thought. Could this really be real like it's not going to be real. You get that little bit of excitement. That maybe there's something to it. Maybe he's going to give the latin long we're repose at so let's call. Let's figure out what's going on. So we called mr caches sunup and we asked. Hey i heard you might know where he's at a few days later i also connected with kevin cash a new yorker who revered his dad for his distinguished fbi career. Kish told me his father had always been baffled. That the marshalls had not descended on the dominican resort and snap rufo up any thirty. Had this guy those in the office. I can't believe these skies are so lazy in the summertime. Just jumped kevin. Kish told me his father. Unknown rufo for years even before project star and he'd always been impressed with rufo especially for his mastery of computers and says jet believed him. You a law. I guess and to work together couldn't Together and trump a criminal so you just a victim. Censoring dad's forum. But just like ed reiner's judd burstein and so many others. Ill kiss joined a long list of people who came to understand. That rufo's real mastery was not.

But you'd be surprised sometimes but we do have We have a for their freedom right at any one time there are hundreds of fugitives wanted by law enforcement.

They get more resources. Bigger awards like john rufus case. Chris and danielle had been in pursuit of rufo for almost three years now. Much of the work is painstaking. Reconstructing financial records analyzing personal habits and traits and mapping his contacts. But the two deputies also follow up on every possible sighting. No matter how. Flimsy the tip may seem. Today they're looking into a tip. That came into headquarters in arlington virginia. So what is the origin of this guy. We're going to take a look at. What's where did he come from. So he came from one of the inspectors have been headquarters Sent us this tip and our redo it the tips. I've served a guy who looks very similar to rufo at a store. I'm going to give us address Who's in the Couple times and when he found interesting was The guy fit the physical descriptions of rebel heavy new york accent. Same height and weight goes. You can't just ignore that like yeah and we're not gonna ignore any that comes through and what was interesting about it was it came from you know an inspector so somebody who somebody who's like not a lay person right. Who would maybe just say. Oh well and send us a bogus tip like a tip. We got last week was. Oh hey we see rufo. he's in kansas. The guy six foot something. It's likely not rufo paid. You're allowed can rule out pretty quickly just by digging like the one. We got last week where he was in. Kansas danielle's probably spent a couple of hours on the computer and was able to find a driver's license photo of the individual. And we did not need to investigate that. Further buds kristen. Danielle had arrived an hour earlier to stake out the location. It's a small store in a suburban strip mall selling mattresses recliners and easy chairs. Actually as i was kind of pulling into the parking lot at about nine fifteen is pretty easy to identify individual which this tip was about. Did he look like roof food. You he does. He's the same. He's the same height and we have our capabilities of advanced. When we're out in know when we're out in the field out on the street we can obtain driver's license photos on our phones. Depending on state so I always able to identify the individual saw where he parked and based off vehicle information Was able to identify him and so we do. So we know the individual is from new york. He is five foot three revival four. He has a very italian name You hold photo side by side which is always interesting to do so. That's not a bad. That's a pretty decent lead so you know the one in kansas. We looked at it. I quietly enter the story behind them. The salesman's smile melts away as they explain. They're not looking for furniture. He does look like rufo lightly as possible. They asked the man if they can scan his fingerprints..
